THE CONSOLIDATED GROUP RESULT
The Group’s net profit before tax from continuing operations in 1H07, excluding non-recurring items, was £60.5m, an
increase of £14.3m (31%) on 1H06 (£46.2m). Henderson delivered a 32% increase in net profit before tax and non-
recurring items to £61.4m in 1H07 (1H06: £46.6m). Corporate made a loss of £0.9m (1H06: £0.4m loss), comprising
Corporate net interest income of £4.1m, compared to £6.6m in 1H06, and Corporate costs of £5.0m in 1H07, down
29% from £7.0m in 1H06. Two non-recurring items were recognised in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Income
Statement in 1H07:
• an accounting gain of £31.8m on the Group’s investment in Banca Popolare Italiana (BPI), following its merger
with Banco Popolare di Verona e Novara (BPVN), forming the newly incorporated Banco Popolare Gruppo
Bancario (BP) and
• an £8.7m past service credit relating to the Henderson Group Pension Scheme.
Group taxation
The corporate income tax charge for continuing operations excluding non-recurring items in 1H07 was £8.9m and
£2.6m for non-recurring items, giving an effective tax rate of 14.7% for continuing operations, excluding non-
recurring items, and 11.4% for all operations, including non-recurring items.
The primary reason for the effective tax rate being less than the current statutory rate of 30% is the utilisation of
previously unrecognised deferred tax assets and the release of provisions for prior year tax matters.
3 Includes results of discontinued operations to the date of disposal.

Business Review (continued)
HENDERSON RESULT
Henderson’s strategy is to build a scaleable, profitable, active investment management business based on core
equity and fixed interest investment capabilities. The focus is on growing AUM in higher margin specialist products
such as Hedge funds, Wholesale funds for retail investors (UK OEICs and unit trusts, Horizon SICAV funds and US
Mutual funds), structured products (including CDOs), Property funds and Private Equity funds.
To achieve this, Henderson strives to:
• deliver saleable investment performance;
• develop a sustainable entrepreneurial culture to attract and retain the best people;
• develop innovative specialist products and rapidly bring them to market; and
• deliver improvements to the cost to income ratio.
The business remains predominantly Pan-European, and continues to expand in the US and in Asia.
Improved 1H07 result – 32% up on 1H06
Net profit before tax for Henderson in 1H07 increased 32% to £61.4m (1H06: £46.6m). The result reflects
management’s continued focus on improving fee margins on AUM.

Revenues and fee margins
Total fee income in 1H07 was up 20% to £174.4m (1H06: £145.2m), whilst the increase in the monthly average FTSE
100 was approximately 9%. Management fee income increased 19% to £129.5m in 1H07 due to growth in
management fee margins and favourable markets compared to 1H06. Transaction fee income fell 20% to £10.0m in
1H07 (1H06: £12.6m), primarily due to lower transaction levels within Property funds. Net performance fees
increased by 44% in 1H07 to £34.9m. This reflects greater performance fee diversity in general and strong
performance across a number of Hedge and Property funds in particular.

ASX Appendix 4D
For the half year ended 30 June 2007
Business Review (continued)
Growth in the higher margin lines of business pushed up average management fee and net margins in 1H07 to
41.7bps (1H06: 32.1bps) and 19.8bps (1H06: 13.8bps) respectively. Total fee margins increased from 43.0bps in
1H06 to 56.2 bps in 1H07. Performance fees comprise a combination of existing and new fee opportunities, and are
weighted more towards 1H than 2H of the year, as is consistent with previous periods. Performance fees in the
second half of 2007 are likely to be closer in value to the same period last year, which was £13.1m.
In 1H07, higher margin activities accounted for 45% of AUM and 78% of revenues, as set out below:

Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by 12% to £115.9m in 1H07. A reduction in costs across most expense categories
was offset by increased staff costs. Fixed staff costs remained flat, but variable staff costs (primarily bonus and share
schemes) increased in line with strong operating performance during the period. Management remains committed to
increasing the level of employee share ownership across the business, in order to further align employee and
shareholder interests. Employee share ownership, should all share schemes in place at 30 June 2007 vest, would be
approximately 11% of shares in issue.

Business Review (continued)
Overall, the increase in total income more than offset the higher costs in 1H07, resulting in an improvement in the
cost to income ratio from 69.2% in 1H06 to 65.6% in 1H07, excluding non-recurring items.
Assets Under Management
Total AUM remained stable in 1H07. Net client outflows of £2.1bn comprised £1.8bn net outflows in respect of
Pearl, £0.7bn from lower margin Institutional business and £0.9bn from CDOs, partially offset by higher margin net
inflows of £0.4bn into Property funds and £0.9bn into Wholesale funds. The CDO funds were redeemed at above
par value and resulted in make-whole management fees, most of which have been recognised in 1H07. In addition,
there were favourable market and foreign exchange rate movements of £1.8bn.

Investment performance continued to improve in 1H07. The stand-out performers remain in the higher margin
areas of the business and include US Wholesale funds, Property and Investment Trusts. In addition, core
Institutional investment performance continues to improve and in the UK Wholesale range investment performance
has been generally strong, particularly in key UK equity products. Investment performance in the Horizon SICAV
range and some Hedge funds will be an area of focus in the second half of 2007.
Business area focus
During 2H06, Henderson restructured the way its business is configured: to improve management accountability;
provide greater focus on operating margins; and encourage a more holistic approach to product development,
investment management and distribution. There are now five business teams: Pan-European Listed Assets, Pan-
European Property, Private Equity, North America and Asia. However, Management still considers Henderson a
single operating segment comprising these five teams. Investment and distribution functions lie within each of these
teams, although cross-selling is encouraged. Central operations and other service functions provide common
support.
Pan-European Listed Assets
This team comprises circa 350 people, approximately 1/3rd of whom are investment professionals located in
London. Distribution professionals are centred in London (and regionally within England), Milan, Paris, Frankfurt,
Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Zurich and Madrid. These offices also distribute to other European locations on an
opportunistic basis.
The product range consists of Wholesale funds (the Horizon SICAVs, UK OEICs and unit trusts), Hedge funds,
Investment Trusts, Institutional segregated and pooled funds, structured products and Pearl. The Listed Assets
team also manages North America’s Institutional mandates and the US Wholesale range.

The focus of Listed Assets product development has been and continues to be on improving the marketability of
existing funds and developing a number of new funds. During 1H07, a new CSO, Volante, was launched initially
raising £0.1bn in AUM. In addition, during 2H07 we expect to launch an Activist Engagement fund and a Diversified
Growth fund, which will combine quant-based asset and liability matching actuarial skills with Henderson’s diverse
specialist investment capabilities.
Listed Assets contributed £111.3m in 1H07 (1H06: £104.5m) representing 62% (1H06: 69%) of total Henderson
revenues. The strong net inflows in 2H06 into higher margin products, the continued decline in lower margin
assets, and favourable markets in 1H07 were all factors in this increase.
Pan-European Property
This team comprises circa 170 people, approximately 40% of whom are investment professionals located in
Amsterdam, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna and Milan. Distribution professionals are centred in London and
Frankfurt. These offices also distribute to other European states, for example in Scandinavia.
The product range consists of segregated accounts, pooled property vehicles, specialist vehicles and multi-manager
fund of funds.
Property AUM continued to rise during the period. In addition, the pipeline of client committed, but uninvested,
capital as at 30 June 2007 amounted to £1.8bn (FY06: £1.8bn). We expect continued investment in Property in
2H07.
The Property team has continued to expand the number of pooled and segregated funds it manages. In particular,
1H07 saw the launch of two KAG funds, the European Core No.1 Fund and the Multinational Plus Fund, the latest in
a series of funds launched as part of our joint venture with MM Warburg in Germany. We are also working on our
first Italian fund, Fondo Azzurro. In addition, a new German Shopping Centre fund, in partnership with MFI, and a
new Asian fund of funds (‘Pagoda’) have been announced.
The revenue contribution of Property for 1H07 was £32.0m (1H06: £21.9m) and represented 18% (1H06: 14%) of
total Henderson revenues. The continued growth in Continental Europe and strong performance fees were the
main factors behind the increased revenues.
Private Equity
This team comprises circa 25 people, approximately 60% of whom are investment professionals located in London,
Singapore, Hong Kong and India. Distribution is carried out by the Pan-European Listed Assets distribution team,
and external placement agents.

8Henderson Group plc
ASX Appendix 4D
For the half year ended 30 June 2007
Business review (continued)
The product range consists of Infrastructure, Asian Private Equity and Global Fund of Funds products.
In addition to focusing on restructuring and value enhancement programmes in relation to the recent £1.0bn
acquisition of John Laing plc, Private Equity has completed an initial capital raising for Henderson Asia Private
Equity Partners II L.P. (HAPEP II), a follow-on fund to Henderson Asia Private Equity Partners I L.P. (HAPEP I).
HAPEP I has delivered strong performance over the last six years. We aim to complete a second capital raising for
HAPEP II in 2H07 and invest committed capital over a five year period. On 31 July 2007, management of a
£151.0m portfolio of legacy assets attributable to Pearl (comprising a European Fund) has been transferred to
Pearl, in accordance with the revised investment management agreements reached with Pearl in June 2006.
The revenue contribution of Private Equity for 1H07 was £8.2m (1H06: £7.1m) and represented 5% (1H06: 5%) of
total Henderson revenues.
North America
This team comprises circa 100 people, approximately 25% of whom are property investment professionals located
in Hartford, Connecticut. The other 75% principally represents distribution professionals, based out of Chicago and
operating in all major states.
The US team is responsible for Institutional, Property and Wholesale funds. The US Wholesale range currently
comprises eight funds in total, two of which, the Henderson Global Equity Income Fund and the Henderson Global
Opportunities Fund, were launched on 30 November 2006. On 8 May 2007, we announced the closure of the
Henderson European Focus Fund to new investors with effect from 1 August 2007, following a prolonged period of
strong sales. Existing shareholders will still be able to make additional investments in the fund.
The revenue contribution of North America for 1H07 was £19.5m (1H06: £15.0m), and represented 11% (1H06:
10%) of total Henderson revenues. Growth has been strongest in higher margin US Wholesale funds, where
consistently excellent investment performance enabled Henderson to achieve the 5th largest market share of net
new flows among all international and global fund providers in 1H07.
Asia
This team comprises circa 20 people, who are mainly distribution professionals as all products are manufactured by
the Listed Assets team. Distribution professionals are centred in Singapore (headquarters), Hong Kong and Tokyo.
These locations also serve distribution relationships in Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia.
The product range consists of Horizon funds, Hedge funds and segregated Institutional mandates.
1H07 has been a strong period for the Asia team. Institutional AUM increased marginally, but Wholesale AUM
rose by 50%. In AUM terms, Asia Wholesale has more than trebled since 31 December 2005. We continue to
prepare for our entry into the Japanese retail market and have completed a number of key hires for this purpose.
The revenue contribution of Asia for 1H07 was £7.7m (1H06: £3.0m) and represented 4% (1H06: 2%) of total
Henderson revenues. Although revenue growth in traditional higher margin Wholesale assets was strong,
Institutional margins also improved.
THE CORPORATE RESULT
Corporate costs
Corporate costs were £5.0m in 1H07 (1H06: £7.0m). These costs include shareholder servicing costs and finance
and secretariat functions, which are not directly attributable to individual business units. 1H06 costs included
£2.0m of expenses associated with a strategic acquisition opportunity, which was not pursued, and the
renegotiation of Pearl IMAs.
Return on Corporate cash
Corporate net interest income was £4.1m in 1H07 (1H06: £6.6m). This return arose primarily from Group cash and
liquid investments. It excludes returns on Henderson investments and on Henderson cash held to meet regulatory,
operational and other strategic requirements, which form part of Henderson revenues analysed on page 4. The
decrease in Corporate net interest income is primarily due to the return of capital to shareholders in October 2006
of approximately £200m.

Pensions
There are three types of pension plans within the Group: the funded and approved defined benefit plan, which
closed to new members on 15 November 1999; the funded and approved money purchase plan; and a number of
smaller unapproved pension top-up plans for executives. The first two plans together form the Henderson Group
Pension Scheme (the Scheme).
There is a net surplus in the Scheme of £38.5m, before deferred tax provisions, at 30 June 2007 (31 December
2006: net liability of £5.0m). The movement in the Scheme balance during 1H07 is principally due to:
• changes to service benefits which came into effect on 1 April 2007 following a period of staff consultation and
agreement with the Scheme Trustee. The main effect of these changes was to restrict salary increases for
pension purposes to the lower of the retail price index and actual. This resulted in an £8.7m past service credit
arising as a non-recurring item in the income statement during 1H07, in accordance with International
Accounting Standard (IAS) 19; and
• the impact of a 0.6% increase during 1H07 in the AA corporate bond discount rate used to value the Scheme’s
liabilities.
The Company also reached agreement with the Trustee on the future funding principles and schedule of
contributions for the Scheme with effect from 13 December 2006. In summary, the Scheme is intended to be
funded to at least 106% of its liabilities on an IAS 19 basis, after taking account of the special contributions totalling
£80m and regular contributions of 20% of annual payroll to the Scheme. Of the £80m, £40m was paid in
December 2006, with the balance due by 31 October 2008.
In addition, a Liability Driven Investment strategy has been adopted during 2007 for Scheme assets backing
defined benefit liabilities. Under this arrangement 50% of Scheme assets backing defined benefit obligations will
be held in a risk-reducing portfolio, comprising assets broadly matching the liability profile of the Scheme with
hedging of inflation and interest rate risks, and the other 50% of assets will be invested in a well-diversified return-
seeking portfolio. These changes will significantly reduce the market risk of the Scheme and give the Scheme
exposure to some of Henderson’s most highly rated investment professionals.
The liability in respect of the unapproved pension schemes amounted to £5.7m before tax relief at 30 June 2007
(FY06: £5.4m).
Regulatory requirements
Henderson successfully applied to the UK Financial Services Authority for a waiver from Consolidated Supervision,
under section 8.4 of the new Prudential Sourcebook for Banks, Building Societies and Investment Firms, with effect
from 1 January 2007. The waiver is valid for five years, ending on 1 January 2012. UK regulated entities within the
Group will continue to meet solo prudential capital requirements, whereas consolidated capital requirements will be
satisfied by the Company’s financial resources rather than Group resources. Consequently, the regulatory capital
surplus in the Group has increased to £591m at 30 June 2007.
Also, from 1 January 2007, all UK regulated entities within the Group have been required to meet the Pillar I (fixed
overhead) capital requirements set out in the new Capital Requirements Directive. Pillar II (operational risk) and
Pillar III (market disclosure) requirements do not come into effect until 1 January 2008. However, based on work
conducted to date and our current business model, we expect the Group’s regulatory capital requirement to remain
broadly the same under the new regulations, at approximately £75m.
Capital
The Board proposes to return approximately £250m of surplus cash, equivalent to 27.6 pence per share, to
shareholders in 4Q07. For this purpose, the Board has approved a special dividend payment and subject to
shareholder approval, a simultaneous share consolidation. The special dividend is conditional on the share
consolidation, the purpose of which is to achieve parity of the share price and earnings per share before and after
the payment of the special dividend. It is common UK practice to combine a special dividend with a share
consolidation in this way. Details of the share consolidation will be set out in a shareholder circular, which will be
sent to shareholders in early September 2007. Shareholder approval will be sought at an Extraordinary General
Meeting to be held on 9 October 2007. Subject to obtaining approval, we expect the special dividend to be paid on
29 October 2007, together with the interim dividend for 2007 (see below).

Business review (continued)
Dividends
The Group made a dividend payment of £20.3m (2.27 pence per share), in respect of 2H06 on 29 May 2007
(2H05: £16.1m maiden dividend, 1.39 pence per share). The Directors have declared an interim dividend in
respect of 1H07 profits which is payable on 29 October 2007, of £15.0m, 1.66 pence per share (1H06: £10.1m,
0.88 pence per share).
Debt issuance
On 2 May 2007, the Company successfully completed a debut 5-year bullet, unrated, sterling debt issuance. The
aim of the issue was to improve the efficiency of the Group’s balance sheet and, owing to strong demand for the
issue, we achieved an issuance level of £175m at a price of 5 year gilts+125bps. The Group has swapped this
fixed interest rate into a variable rate, based on LIBOR, to match the rates earned on its cash balances.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
There were no movements in the results of discontinued operations during 1H07. The 1H06 net expense related to
an £11.7m warranty claim from Pearl, agreed under the terms of the Life Services sale agreement, as full and final
settlement of all outstanding non-tax based warranties; a £9.5m gain on the disposal of Towry Law UK; and an
operating profit of £0.2m up to the date of disposal of Towry Law UK.
With the completion of the sale of Towry Law UK and the Life Services business, and the closure of Towry Law
International, all non-investment management businesses have been disposed of or closed. The impact of those
businesses on the future results of the Group will be limited to the recognition of any potential claims crystallising
under remaining warranties or indemnities in connection with both disposals and any surplus or deficit arising in
respect of the Towry Law International run-off provisions. No surpluses or deficits in provisions are presently
foreseen.
OUTLOOK
Given recent market volatility, we have to assume that the second half of the year will be more challenging for fund
flows. That said, we have a number of new products planned and our emphasis on higher margin products should
continue to drive revenues and profitability higher. Therefore, assuming markets remain at or close to their current
levels, we still expect Henderson to reach its cost to income ratio target for 2007 of 70% and we aim to improve
further on this in future periods.
Corporate costs should amount to approximately £10m and Corporate net interest income is expected to be
between £6m and £7m in 2007. We will pay an interim dividend of 1.66 pence or equivalent per share in October,
together with a special dividend of 27.6 pence or equivalent per share, assuming we obtain shareholder approval
for a simultaneous share consolidation.
We expect the effective tax rate on profits from continuing operations of the Group to be between 10% and 15% for
2007 and 2008, reverting to the standard UK corporate tax rate (28% with effect from April 2008), in 2009 or 2010.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Corporate information
Henderson Group plc (the Company) is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England. The
Company’s ordinary shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange and CHESS Depositary Interests are traded
on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its controlled entities (the Group)
for the six months ended 30 June 2007 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 August 2007.
The results for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and the six months ended 30 June 2006 are unaudited but
have been reviewed by the auditor. These do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985.
The results for the full year ended 31 December 2006 have been taken from the Henderson Group plc Full Annual
Financial Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006. The auditor has reported on the 2006
accounts and its report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 1985. The Henderson Group plc Full Annual Financial Report and Accounts for the year ended
31 December 2006 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
2 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures
required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s Full Annual
Financial Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s Full Annual Financial Report and Accounts for
the year ended 31 December 2006. Henderson Group plc adopted International Financial Reporting Standard
(IFRS) 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures for the year beginning 1 January 2007. This does not impact on the
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the disclosures required under IFRS 7 will be included
in the Full Annual Financial Report and Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2007.

In accordance with IFRS, dividends are recognised in the accounts in the period in which they are paid. An interim
dividend of £15m was approved by the Board of Directors on 23 August 2007. The £250m proposed special
dividend is subject to shareholder approval of a simultaneous share consolidation to be sought at an EGM on
9 October 2007. These payments will be recognised in 2H07 and reflected in the 2007 Full Annual Financial
Report and Accounts.

4.1 Realised gain on deemed disposal of available-for-sale financial asset
The merger between BPI and BPVN into the newly incorporated BP on 1 July 2007 gave rise to a new investment
holding for the Group which, for accounting purposes, is deemed as a disposal of the previous holding. Under the
terms of the merger, the Group received a special dividend of £16.3m (£1.46 per BPI share) which has been
included as part of the accounting gain on the deemed disposal. The brought forward net cumulative gain on
disposal of the Group’s investment in BPI of £28.6m was recognised in the Interim Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Recognised Income and Expense as a transfer from the revaluation reserve to the Interim Condensed
Consolidated Income Statement. The balance of £3.2m represents the net gain on the investment in BPI
recognised during the six months to 30 June 2007. The revised base cost of the investment is £69.7m (£14.48 per
BP share). The currency exposure is fully hedged, but the investment remains exposed to market risk.
4.2 Past service credit on Henderson Group Pension Scheme
The past service credit of £8.7m on the Group’s defined benefit scheme represents a non-recurring catch-up
adjustment following changes to future benefits that came into effect on 1 April 2007, following a period of staff
consultation and agreement with the Scheme’s Trustee (refer to note 7.2).
4.3 Business restructure costs (FY06)
The one-off restructure costs incurred by the Group of £7.8m were in respect of specific redundancy and other
related costs, associated with the business restructure of Henderson Global Investors that took place in November
2006.

6 Segmental information
Henderson is an investment manager, operating throughout Europe, also with operations in North America and
Asia. Henderson manufactures a broad range of actively managed investment products for institutional and retail
investors, across multiple asset classes, including equities, fixed interest, property and private equity.
The Board considers that the risks and rewards to the business are not substantially different across the
geographic regions in which Henderson operates so as to warrant separate disclosure. Core equities and fixed
interest, property and private equity are sold in most, if not all, of these regions, and are managed in various
locations. Balance sheet and strategic management are also determined centrally by the Board and, on this basis,
Henderson considers itself to be a single-segment investment management business.

The movement in the Scheme from a deficit as at 31 December 2006 to a surplus as at 30 June 2007 was
principally due to:
• an increase in the AA corporate bond rate at which liabilities are valued for accounting purposes, from 5.1% at
31 December 2006 to 5.7% at 30 June 2007; and
• changes to service benefits that came into effect on 1 April 2007, which have resulted in an £8.7m past service
credit in accordance with International Accounting Standard 19 (refer to note 4.2).
The net liability in respect of the Group’s unapproved post-retirement obligations was £5.7m at 30 June 2007

On 2 May 2007, the Group issued a 5-year unrated, senior, sterling debt instrument of £175m. This debt is
unsecured and is repayable in full on 2 May 2012. The debt bears interest at a fixed rate based on 5-year
gilts+125 bps and is payable every six months. The Group has swapped this fixed interest rate into a variable rate,
based on LIBOR, to match the rates earned on its cash balances. For accounting purposes the debt is being
amortised using the effective interest rate method over the life of the instrument.
